IPADDING FOR ROLLS.

Application filed July 22, 1925.

The present invention relates to padding materials for rolls andparticularly for the rolls of ironing machines.

Heretofore, on rolls of various machines where padding is required,various forms 01 padding material have been used with varying success,but always when a strip is wrapped around the roll, there is diflicultyin avoiding a seam or hump where the ends of the material come togetheror lap over.

The present invention has for its object the overcoming of thisobjection by providing a padding material that will form a lap havingthe same thickness as the rest of the material.

- cotton running lengthwise and tied together with a web of thread.These rovings are usually quite large and form a padding sheet of abouta quarter of an lnch thick. Lapping the ends of this makes quite anappreciable bump.

In the present instance this objection is overcome by removing a portionof the material from the ends of the pad so that the lapping portion oneach end gradually decreases in thickness, the two ends lapped formingtogether about the thickness of the body portion of the material.

In the specific embodiment shown, this is done by cutting notches in theends of the material so that about half of the material is removed for ashort distance back from the end. The remaining material will then mashdown so as to taper off in thickness from the bottom to the top of thenotches and the lapping edges will lie as shown in Fig. 2.

In the drawing, the body of the padding material is indicated at 5having the rovings at 6 and the web threads at 7 well spaced. Thenotches are indicated at 8 with the lapping ends indicated, in Fig. 2,at 10 and 11 on the roll 12.

Serial No. 45,198.

While, in the above description, cotton rovings have been mentioned asthe material used. the invention is also applicable to other paddingtextiles and woolen or even other woven padding may be prepared in thesame manner with good results.

Having now described the invention and the preferred form of embodimentthereof, it should be understood that it is not to be limited to theprecise details described and illustrated but only by the scope of theclaims which follow.

Claims:

1. A padding material for rolls consisting of a sheet of'woven textilepadding material of surhcient length to encircle the roll one or moretimes and lap a short distance, the sheet having some of the warpmaterial removed from its ends so as to decrease the thickness thereof.

2. A padding material for rolls consisting of a sheet of textile paddingmaterial of sufficient length to encircle the roll one or more times andlap a short distance, the sheet having notched ends.

3. A padding material for rolls consisting of a sheet of cotton rovingsof sufiicient length to encircle the roll one or more times and lap ashort distance and having the rovin gs held by a wett of threads, thesheet having some of the material of the rovings removed trom its endsso as to decrease the thickness thereof.

4. A padding material for rolls consisting of a sheet of cotton rovingsof suiiicient length to encircle the roll one or more times and lap ashort distance, the sheet having sufficient material of the rovingsremoved from the ends so that the lapped portions are together ofsubstantially the thickness of the sheet.

5. A padding material for rolls consisting of a sheet of cotton rovingsof sutlicient length to encircle the roll one or more times and lap ashort distance, the sheet tapering in thickness for a distance equal tothe width of the lap.

6. A padding material for rolls consisting of a sheet of cotton rovingsof suliicient length to encircle the roll one or more times and lap ashort distance, the sheet having notches cut into its ends to a depthsubstantially equal to the width of the lap.
